Having read this whole thread, I see the value in your interaction with your therapist. Sometimes I think reflexive denials are so transparent that we end up seeing right through them and resenting the person.
Sometimes it's enough to make a person want to just yell "enough already" let's talk about the real issue here. "this is what *I* think and I want to talk about it with you". I think to constantly hear "you're beautiful" or something along those lines, when one truly does not believe it could be very tiring, if not negating of one's feelings.
I don't know what you look like on the outside, and frankly I don't really care. You've shown me tremendous beauty, fragility, wisdom and the complexity of Dinah here on babble.
That trumps long legs, big hair and symmetrical features any day in my book
I look forward to, and hope you decide to share this latest phase of your therapy with us here on babble. I think it will lead you to a lot of peace and bridge the divide that you feel. I think you will get a lot of comfort from this line of inquiry.
Peace to you.
Seldom.
